Announcement: Rock 'N' Roll No. 1 - Mono to Stereo
Rediscover Elvis Presley's first album with a new stereo mix! The influence and
impact of this album released in 1956 are considerable.
This CD edition opens with all twelve tracks from the original US album, as
heard around the world when it was first released, and the five additional
tracks from the UK version have been added as bonus tracks, along with two
further recordings from his first RCA single.
Today, CDs and vinyl have reverted to the original mono recordings. However, as
technology and production techniques are constantly evolving, the idea of creating
new stereo mixes from mono recordings, with new techniques for separating
instruments and vocals originally recorded on a single track, is new possible.
The original mono mixes of these tracks were clearly geared for radio broadcast
and were therefore heavily compressed.
The stereo mixes newly created for this CD allow you to rediscover the
naturalness of the original recordings and give the impression of being in the
heart of the studio with Elvis and his musicians.
Of course, the original mono recordings released during that watershed year will
forever remain an essential part of rock 'n' roll history and while that feeling
of excitement at hearing a new album from Elvis is now a thing of the past, that
doesn't mean we can't embrace new ways of listening to old albums, rediscovering
"The young man with the big beat" once again.
Note: This is not a pressed CD, but a
CD-R!
